• Children's Health Foundation is where I  previously served on the board. It is a fabulous organization where we are incubating Nutrition programs that take the junky a-la-carte items out of schools and implement healthier choices, a Safe-School-Ambassador program that focuses on empowering the kids with conflict resolution and peer-counseling skils to prevent bullying and violence. We also offer yoga in schools and alternative learning opportunities for teachers. Our programs have been extremely successful and we will be expanding them throughout Colorado and then Nationally.

• Aspen Center for Integral Health- A non-profit national organization based in Aspen, Colorado, the Aspen Center for Integral Health is a center for the gathering and dissemination of emerging ideas on health and for the promotion of human flourishing. Our mission is to educate the public, patients, doctors and other health care professionals on validated health therapies and prevention programs, and on the effects of human behavior on personal health and the environment. ACIH's primary goal is to facilitate the creation of a more sustainable, comprehensive and compassionate health care model by addressing the four integral dimensions of health–the physical, pyschospiritual, interpersonal and societal–which together affect the health of the whole person. They use a four quadrant model that comes from a framework developed by Ken Wilber, that is changing the way people see the world. This framework is being applied in every discipline from Politics to Parenting. To learn more about it check out…

• Integral Institute- I am an official I-I Ambassador. So what that means to me, is that I strive to have an Integral Perspective wherever I contribute my guidance and influence in the world, and  direct people who might be interested to I-I for guidance or to team up with others who are doing Integral work in the world.

• As a mother, I strive to raise my daughter to question everything, believe in possibility and to be compassionately aware of her Self and others and her impact on others and the world.
